"When they're on the turnpike or a secondary road or other highway, their primary concern should be operating that vehicle. Not adjusting the radio, being on the cellphone, texting, eating drinking, they need to pay attention to what they're doing when they're driving at high speeds," said Cpl. Lance McCleish with Maine State Police.

On Sunday, two people died in Hampden on I-95 after a wrong-way driver caused a head-on collision.

Including those deaths, this year's highway death count stands at 33 compared to 20 deaths this time last year.

The state has already had its first motorcycle death of the year, last week in Bath.

According to the Maine Bureau of Highway Safety, the state has nearly 30,000 crashes each year and a recent five year annual average of more than 150 deaths and thousands of injuries.
